In simple terms, Best Lady Competitor. It has been
given to a passenger when there have been no lady drivers, and has been
given to the most worthy (subjective term) when circumstances deem this
right. Kindly donated by Marie T. Cope
Rest & be Thankful Trophy
To the Passenger of the Year. This should not be
confused with winning the Passenger League. This trophy is deliberately
keep out of that competitive arena to be given to the person who has
done something above average or whose driver has done well but they are
not registered in the Passenger League. Kindly donated by John
Hayes
Wait until Next Year Trophy
The inscription on the trophy says "To the person
most likely to
" and the trophy is given to the most
promising newcomer.
Tractor Tug Trophy
"For overcoming mechanical adversity" It is
easier to say what this is not for. It is not for the person whose
preparation is so appalling that they spend the entire event putting the
thing back together when they falloff. It is given to the person who
perseveres with the car when all logic says "Call the RAC" or
to the person who does some enormous repair between events that most of
us who hesitate to take on even in the summer recess. Kindly donated by Crafty
Buggies
The Moore Trophy
Presented by Robin Moore for the best performance by a pre-war car. Usually give on
points scored in the Crackington League, but not to a winner of one of
top five trophies unless there are some extenuating circumstances (such
as the next placed person being in 250th place and only
scoring one point).
The Premier Cup
Originally
for the best placed FWD car in the Crackington League, but since these
guys are now taking all the main trophies, a certain amount of
subjectivity has crept into its allocation. Donated by Roger
Ugalde.
Trial of the Year Award
The organisers trophy. To the Best Organised, or Most
Improved Organisation. This has to be carefully separated from the trial
with the best hills, because it is too easy to look back on what was a
"good" event and be blinkered by the fact that if you did well
the event seemed good to memory. The areas that are looked at include
quality of the route-card, speed of production of the results,
Suitability of the Start & Finish venues. Contingency planning,
Recovery, all sorts of stuff that mere competitors never realise has to
be done for them(!!)
Mike Massey Memorial Trophy
Donated by Norma Massey. For the "Sportsman" of the year. To the
person who has contributed to the benefit of the sport without thought
of reward or personal cost. To the person who seems to "give"
or help whenever called upon or without being call upon.
